This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thank you Thomas, David, Cy,& Del for your answers. My reason for asking is that recently I have been hearing from our = local Steinway dealer about the low tension scales on Steinway grands = and the higher tension scales on Yamaha's. I have believed in the past = that Steinways had higher tension scales and that was a big reason why = they are loud pianos and strong in power as compared to Yamahas which = seem to have a sweeter, more airy sound. Likewise the European pianos. = I always associated low tension with this airy, sweet sound. It appears = that I may have been wrong in having this opinion. I was thinking there = was some way to empirically gather info on the amount of inharmonicity a = group of selected notes on the piano would have and interpolate from = there where the tension would be. I guess it is not as simple as that. = This, however, also clouds the air as there is no way to tell = individually the overall tension on a scale by just taking some = inharmonmicity readings.. I guess there is no way to uncloud claims of = dealers or manufacturers. Thank you for your help.
